The Lost Reflection

by justan-rahming

I look upon myself Staring longing and in love Hovering over the waters of creation Holding the image of my existence in my gaze The visions of my being Sharing with me the reflection of devotion I exist only here for only here I am Unafraid for I know this is really true But alas the vengeful Nemesis had replaced my perfect waters with this stygian puddle Leaving only the sight of worms creeping out of the mud Reality forever changed With me no longer in it The sight of being is gone The beauty and love corrupted Everything is darkened and dreadful Everything has lost its meaning I put my hands in the mud Hoping to create and replace the love of my reflection To replace upon this Earth what captivated me so But I could not bring to form what was already perfect Everything I make is a mockery of my image Pulling me ever distant Falling deeper into memory Nothing I do matters I no longer exist My reflection is gone
